We met with the genetic counselor this morning. She was warm, friendly and thorough. So thorough that at one point she was explaining gene pairing to us and when I said the word “recessive” she pointed at my and said, “Right!!!” I believe she enjoys her work, and that’s always nice to see.
It was also fun to watch her draw a cool family chart for each of us.
After much discussion we established that she didn’t have a lot to tell us that we didn’t already know. That was reassuring because my biggest concern about the meeting is that she’d hit us with some concern I’d never considered.
If something is wrong, I’m definitely in the “want to know” camp. But weighing that against the fact that I don’t favor being fooled with by doctors if I don’t need to be left me at about a draw for the amnio. I left it to Damon, saying that if he is going to lose some of his joy over this pregnancy because he was busy worrying then we should go do it. But if he isn’t, then we should just go to breakfast. It tipped back and forth a few times, and I think in the end Damon’s heebie jeebies about someone sticking a needle in my stomach is what won. And I had pancakes AND hash browns and felt pretty good about all my choices this morning.

We didn’t do amnio; though you could have argued a strong case for it, with me being soooo old at the time. I decided to take my chances because I was concerned an amnio might cause trouble. So far, things seem okay . . .

Oh, I know from old. I’m sure they feared I would crumble into dust under the pressure of the amnio needle so I’ll bet they were relieved too.

Awwwwh, thanks. We have a lot of fun, if I remember to take my Geritol.
Darn, my shawl fell off.
Returning now to my enfeeblement.

It was actually the level 2 that revealed the echographic focus. So I think we’re done, because it didn’t show any other problems.
Posted by lemon_says on May 19, 2007 at 10:03 pm
Oh, well then, just one soft marker is nothing on a level 2. You have nothing to worry about. I’m glad you skipped the amnio. I know there’s a place for them, but they kinda scare me.
